ton crops. The ground is so wet that
the hands cannot get into the fields
t o pick. Most of the corn crop has
t'een gathered and everybody re- j
ports a very good yield.
Mr J W Lockliear has opened up
a small store at his place about two |
miles west of this place: he reports (
pretty fair crops in his.neighbor- t
hood. ]

% Jim Bennett, one of our negro
merchants, came very near dying v
last Tuesday night,being poisoned by ^
panned oysters. The doctor who at- *
tead?$ him said if he had not got to 9
him as soon as he did the sick man
would have died in half an hour.

about 200 bales of cotton, which is a f
good deal less than at. this time la*t

Rev S T Russell,pastor of the Baptist
church, started a meeting here
last Saturday night. I do not know
how long it will last, but probably
until Wednesday night. Sunday
morning we had a new attendant,
one who is not on the membership 0
roll. A goat came in while the
preacher was in the middle of explaining
a very interesting Scriptural
point. He (the goat) stayed for a n
few minutes, but that was long
enough to challenge the attention of n
a good-sized crowd. Hope this will
not occur again. d

The day was full of sunshine from r
morn till dewev eve. 1

Prohibition seems to be helping a
the blind tigers around here, judg- t
ing from the number of "boozy" r
young men and negroes in evi- 1
dence. One of the most disgusting (
signts that I have s^en for some t
time was on last Sunday, October 8. t
Tt ree or four young men were here
from some of the near-by farms, all s
under the influence of "tanglefoot".
The boys come of good families, too, '
and it hurts their parents. Boys, if
you've got to get diunk, why not do .
so some other time than Sunday?
And be sure and keep away from ,
the church when in that condition.
Mr E F Martin,representing some 1
medicine company, is here to deliver *
his drugs, for which he received or- i
ders some time ago. He is accompanied
by his wife. They are board- i

CRIMINAL COURT CONCLUOED.l
I
! Pendergrass Convicted ol Murder?Mose
Jones Gets 3 Years.
As we went to press last Thursday
the case of the State vs John Pendergrass,
murder, was in progress.
The jury returned a verdict of guilty
and Pendergrass was sentenced Jp
be hanged Friday. November IN. E
L Hirsch. Esq, whom the court a]e
pointed to defend Pendergrass, has
given notice of appeal and it is probable
that a stay of sentence will be
granted. Although Attorney Hirsch
was forced into this case,his sense of
duty impelled him to make a conscientious
tight for the negro's life
and he feels that there are some mitigating
circumstances that would
justify a Commutation to life imprisonment.
For instance.the negro,
immediately after the homicide, fled
into North Carolina and several
months later voluntarily surrender,.j
:
eu mmseu iu a magiMiaie, tennis
him that he was a furtive frraji justice.
If we mistake not, the negro
even paid for the telegram the magistrate
sent Sheriff Graham advising
him to come and take Pendergrass
in custody.
Judge Prince refused to grant Attorney
Hinds' motion for a new trial
in the case of the State vs Mose
Jones, charged with assault with intent
to ravish, and Jones was given
a sentence of five years' on the
chaingang.
The case of the State vs Vant McCullough,
indicted for perjury, resulted
in an acquittal for the de
fendant. .-Messes Lee & Fishburne
represented McCullough.
The court adjourned *ine die
Thursday afternoon.
